Overview
Sanderson Recruitment are partnering with a public sector organisation as they embark on a programme of transformation, modernising legacy environments across 4 key workstreams. As part of this programme of transformation, we are looking to hire a Linux System Administrator with experience of implementing Suse Multi Linux Manager (SMLM) in a complex enterprise environment consisting of Linux and Windows Servers.
Working as part of a team responsible for modernising the infrastructure estate, you'll lead the rollout of SMLM across hundreds of Linux virtual machines, helping to automate patching, improve configuration management, and reduce manual administration overhead. This is not a greenfield environment, so we're particularly interested in candidates who have previously implemented SUSE Manager/SMLM alongside existing SaltStack and automation tooling.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The piece of work is due to run for 2-3 years with contracts being split into 12-month increments.
